AMERICA ...

Where is the right of the 93 % ?(page 2)

(continue)

They brag about balancing the budget, camouflaging the gab between harsh reality and publicity stunts, diverting, misappropriating, commingling and funneling the funds of one agency to another. How can the government, employee of the people, explain what happens to the extra dollars specifically collected, by the Federal Highway Trust Fund, as federal gas tax, which as of 1993 reached the rate of 18.3 cents on every gallon, the increase of 4.3 cents was solely intended for repairing and maintaining our deteriorating roads and bridges, but instead they were used for deficit reduction. The same happened to Social Security Trust Fund, etc.

60% of our roads and bridges infrastructure are in urgent need of repair or replacement; since 1993, the 4.3 cents increase has provided around 5 billion dollars per year, and if this money was applied, as intended, our roads and bridges would have been in better shape, but our government employees preferred to keep about 20 billion dollars dormant to reflect a positive plus on the government ledger.

This political adaptation and maneuvering deprive the constituents owners of this nation of better and safer roads as well as rob them of work opportunities; repairing and maintaining roads and bridges is one of the most significant singlest national caterpillars in creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, in re-jumping the industrial manufacturing, in providing better prosperity and living standards, in confirming shareholders peace of mind together with job security, and ultimately in the rebuilding of a healthier more productive America.

Which enterprise that you know of compensate employees for doing nothing, for stealing openly, for mocking the system, for breaking the laws, evidently they will go out of business, and our America is going out of business.

Where in the world employees of an enterprise take the liberty to use company’s money without consulting the owner employer ? The people of America are the owner employer and no employee, no matter how high he ranks, has the right to waste money, wealth and livelihood of the Americans without their consent. Those employees are not only wasting our money, but have the audacity to look us in the eye and levy more taxes, to cover for their negligence, ignorance and expenditures. It seems to me they are holding us hostages, and raising taxes is some form of employees’ strike against the owner employer, who in our case, stands helpless, thus reluctantly and obediently comply.

Politicians can argue that they all are elected officials, mandated by the people, and their repeated re-elections are only indication of the satisfaction their constituents have. Unfortunately, the majority of you are elected and re-elected because of power struggle between the two mainstream parties through the loyalty of the party members, and the amount of monies raised and spent.

The real Americans, nowadays, who still honestly and wholeheartedly pledge allegiance to one Flag of the United States, without interference of color, ethnicity, party affiliation, power struggle, except that of all Americans, do not vote, because they are disgusted with the process, the system and the empty promises. The election turn outs is your solid proof.
